Background The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) mission is to enforce the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act and other laws that are designed to protect consumers' health and safety. All the Information Technology (IT) systems have been created to meet mission critical requirements as well as requirements imposed by executive orders. These systems assist FDA personnel in tracking and managing cases throughout the regulatory workflow. The FDA Office of Information Management (OIM) focuses on creating and maintaining resource-light IT environments for FDA applications that support the increasing need for information sharing and collaboration. Managing information in this new environment plays a critical role in enabling the FDA's efforts to transform Agency operations and respond quickly and accurately to emerging scientific, technological, and economic trends affecting its regulatory mission. OIM mission "manages information technology (IT) and other related services including technical oversight of system development processes, policies, and methodologies and management of IT infrastructure to ensure FDA has a robust IT foundation that enables interoperability across the FDA and allows the development of enterprise wide systems necessary to meet the FDA's mission of promoting and protecting public health in an efficient, effective, productive, and timely manner. OIM strives to consistently meet the business needs of its customers providing the services that adhere to the Agency's IT standards and policies."

(End of clause) 15. 508 Standard Requirements 352.239-73(a) - Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility. (January 2010) (a) Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d), as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, and the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board Electronic and Information (EIT) Accessibility Standards (36 CFR Part 1194), require that, unless an exception applies, all EIT products and services developed, acquired, maintained, or used by any federal department or agency permit- (1) Federal employees with disabilities to have access to and use information and data that is comparable to the access and use of information and data by federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities; and (2) Members of the public with disabilities seeking information or services from a federal agency to have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use of information and data by members of the public who are not individuals with disabilities. (b) Accordingly, any vendor submitting a proposal/quotation/bid in response to this solicitation must demonstrate compliance with the established EIT accessibility standards. Information about Section 508 is available at http://www.section508.gov/. The complete text of Section 508 Final Provisions can be accessed at http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/communications-and-it/about-the-section-508-standards/section-508-standards. (c) The Section 508 accessibility standards applicable to this solicitation are identified in the Statement of Work/Specification/Performance Work Statement. In order to facilitate the Government's evaluation to determine whether EIT products and services proposed meet applicable Section 508 accessibility standards, offerors must prepare an HHS Section 508 Product Assessment Template, in accordance with its completion instructions, and provide a binding statement of conformance. The purpose of the template is to assist HHS acquisition and program officials in determining that EIT products and services proposed support applicable Section 508 accessibility standards. The template allows vendors or developers to self-evaluate their products or services and document in detail how they do or do not conform to a specific Section 508 accessibility standard. Instructions for preparing the HHS Section 508 Evaluation Template may be found under Section 508 policy on the HHS Office on Disability website (http://www.hhs.gov/od/). (d) Respondents to this solicitation must also provide any additional detailed information necessary for determining applicable Section 508 accessibility standards conformance, as well as for documenting EIT products or services that are incidental to the project, which would constitute an exception to Section 508 requirements. If a vendor claims its products or services, including EIT deliverables such as electronic documents and reports, meet applicable Section 508 accessibility standards in its completed HHS Section 508 Product Assessment Template, and it is later determined by the Government - i.e., after award of a contract/order, that products or services delivered do not conform to the described accessibility standards in the Product Assessment Template, remediation of the products or services to the level of conformance specified in the vendor's Product Assessment Template will be the responsibility of the Contractor and at its expense. (End of provision) The following Section 508 provisions apply to the content identified in this SOW: § 1194.21 Software applications and operating systems. § 1194.22 Web-based intranet and internet information and applications. § 1194.31 Functional performance criteria. § 1194.41 Information, documentation, and support. 16. Order of Precedence The Contractor shall follow the terms and conditions of this order. Should the Contractor include any additional terms and conditions resulting in conflicts between this document and the contractor's document, the Order of Precedence shall be as specified in FAR Clause 52.212-4, dated May 2014. Any indemnification and governing law language in the contractor's terms and conditions shall be invalid and shall be stricken and removed from the contract. Any additional terms and conditions shall not be prohibited by applicable laws and regulations. Any additional terms and conditions identified with a web link and/or incorporated by reference shall be stricken and removed from the contract. The Contractor shall provide all terms and conditions, in full text, with their quotations as attachments, appendixes, etc. 17.
